Frida Kahlo Artwork Black And White

“I paint self-portraits, because I’m so often alone, because I am the person I know best.” – Frida Kahlo. Artist Frida Kahlo was considered one of Mexico’s greatest artists who began painting mostly self-portraits after she was severely injured in a bus accident.

Kahlo later became politically active and married fellow communist artist Diego Rivera in 1929. She exhibited her paintings in Paris and Mexico before her death in 1954. Below is a collection of 40 fascinating portraits of Frida Kahlo from between the 1930s and 1940s.
